WASHINGTON – The Justice Department on Monday singled out Portland, Oregon; New York City and Seattle as"anarchist jurisdictions" – cities that the Trump administration said have allowed violence to persist during months of civil demonstrations over racial injustice and police brutality and could lose federal funding.
The Office of Management and Budget will send guidance on restricting the cities' eligibility for federal dollars. This is the latest in an escalation of tension between the Trump administration and cities led by Democratic mayors, as civil unrest over racial injustice, sparked by the death of George Floyd and other Black people at the hands of police, has stretched over several months.
"Trump, the Department of Justice, and Barr’s obsession with Seattle and me is irrational and, most importantly, a huge distraction," Durkan said Monday, alluding to a

When you refuse to enforce the law and allow mob rule there are consequences.
Ridiculous
Fascism and White Supremacy. God help American.
Did anyone tell him that he is President of all America?
Land of the free
He is the most devisive President in my lifetime. He has no interest in finding workable solutions and only raises the rhetoric. He's writing off all those tax paying citizens not cool...
I DON'T WANT MY TAX MONEY GOING THERE
You can run but you can’t hide. The long arm of the law is ah comin!
Federal funding of tax dollars that they paid?
Good then those cities shouldn’t pay federal taxes & take that money to take care of their citizens without federal government interference. America was built in protests wtf!
Glad to hear that there is a punishment for bad behavior and the acceptance of that behavior.
Good. Fuk em.
well ofcourse GOP 💩 LYING PROPAGANDA
DictatorDonnieDiversion Living the HandmaidenTale
No one cares what someone whose negligence caused 200,000 deaths says. Got it?
I work in Seattle. It's a 3rd world shithole with homegrown terrorists running amok. Defund and charge the mayor and clowncil with sedition.
Schumer, delasio and cuomo all made protest statements. Schumer, driven with security in a Lincoln, Deblasio with NYPD & cuomo with state police. Try living here w/o your security. You don't know what we see & feel. Try planning a trip to the grocery store, a walk in the park.
Those that chose to defund and not defend The People should personally be held in judgement and sued.
Dictator Trump at it again
NY only because Trump’s in trouble with his dirty businesses.
I’d love to see them try it and watch the fallout from their stupidity.
Good!!!!
Where's the lie
All BLUE States !!
What they have done in those cities is self inflicted. The funds to fix it should be self funded. Don’t waste the rest of the American people’s money on them.
Check FBI stats on crime at state level. All Trmp states.
...and they say the Democrats are trying to defund the police...what are realDonaldTrump and the Attorney General doing when they withhold federal funds (defunding our police).
Go Ruler Trump
There are no Republican cities except maybe Jacksonville Florida.
FUCK NYC
FUCK Seattle
FUCK Portland
They made their beds and allowed the decimation of their cities... ruining people's lives! If they refuse what's best for their citizens, I agree the Federal Government should not support them out. Call it tough love!
Those States should refuse to send the States Tax Check to Washington.
Convenient locations...
He is delivering fake news. Not so in PNW.
I smell a lawsuit.
I see a few concentration camps on the horizon
Those jurisdictions should cease funding the federal government and red states.
Funny Barr talking about not wasting tax money... that’s been happening for almost 4 years now. The entire trump family and their cronies have had cart Blanche with tax payers money since he came into office sooo.. what you talking about Fred?
If this means those cities can secede from Trump's Amerikka, can other cities volunteer?
Isn't the a way those cities could withhold paying federal taxes?
Idiots . Your punishing your own people who live there too ! More votes lost . Keep it up.........
If TrumptyDumpty and his stooge AGBarr want to cut off federal funding to those cities based on 'political reasons'... then, perhaps the citizens there should be exempt from paying federal taxes so that they can fund those things that will be impacted by this BS!!!🤔
Vote like your life depends on it, because it does. Vote for honesty, integrity and decency. VoteBidenHarris
He is vindictive as Satan.
Thought they were big government leftists? Now they want no government?
Remember when they use to claim this would never happen in America... Or when they said Trump won’t do these type of things he’s just joking....😐
So then they don't pay federal taxes, right?
Obviously this has nothing to do with the up coming election.
Stop killing unarmed Black people.
This is my view outside my apartment here in Portland. Anarchy looks pretty calm right now, I dunno. :p
Trumpolini wants to 'dominate the streets'.
Maybe the anarchists should look at that big building with golden letters...a symbol of hate and discrimination...
